Calderwood Primary and Nursery

Nursery Parking for Parents

Dear Parent/Carer,

Please note, we are currently awaiting signage for our car park. Below are our requests to keep our car park running smoothly and safely.

If essential/ in an emergency you have to use the car park, whilst dropping off and picking up your child from nursery please:

Use the one-way system – entering from the left of the car park.
Park in a bay in the back two rows (bays nearest the electrical ports and furthest away from the nursery).
Walk your child down to the nursery.

The first two rows of parking bays are reserved for staff members and visitors.

Many Thanks for your co-operation.

Nursery Clans

Our Nursery Clans are named after Scottish Animals. Every child is allocated a Key Champion who is responsible for one of the Nursery Clans.

Validated Self Evaluation Report

Prior to the October holidays, Calderwood Primary had a Validated Self Evaluation from West Lothian Council. Mr Iain McDermott, our Education Officer, and Mrs Geraldine Armstrong, Quality Improvement Manager, had discussions with children, champions, parents/ carers and partners about our transition to Calderwood Primary. Miss Miller, Mrs Scott and I also shared our Calderwood journey with them. It was a very positive experience, which is reflected in our report. Bella and Matthew from our Ben Lawers and Lomond Clans, did a fantastic job of being tour guides for our visitors and supported with the learning walk around our clans. Thank you to all involved in the process, especially our champions and children.

I presented the report at Education Quality Assurance Committee this week, where we had lots of positive feedback and compliments from councillors and it was recognised we will be able to support other new schools in the future.
